Moving

Wow words cannot express how we feel about Ultimate Movers. After being stood up by another moving company (from homestars), Ultimate Movers came with short notice of us moving. Phyllis arranged everything in the office while Michelle dispatched the crew. When they arrived at our home, they wrapped all our furniture and protected all our antiques with extra care. When the crew arrived at our new home they wrapped the bannisters and covered the new hardwood floors. I am glad that the other moving company backed out so we experience the professionals at work. Nothing got damaged and everything was happy at the end of the day. Thanks to all that helped us in this time of need. I will be sure to recommend your company to anyone that we know that is moving.

All the best to you in your business,

Thanks to John and the crew for a great service. The crew showed up as scheduled and the crew was super terrific. We had to make 2 trips with a 30 foot truck amazingly there was not one thing damaged the whole day. Michelle & Phyllis were great at the office answering my many questions. Thanks also for the free boxes, they worked out to be me awesome. I will recommend your company to anyone that I know is moving. Take care and god bless you all.

I chose Ultimate Choice because their reviews were great, their prices very reasonable and Phyllis was so helpful and patient in answering all my questions. Most people seem to have had a great experience with UCM, but I unfortunately didn't. Only one of the movers actually showed up on time, the others were 2.5 hours late. The move didn't end up starting until 11:45, and was scheduled to start at about 9am. While that was upsetting, Michelle offed us a discount in price for the delay, so we felt that the company took care of that problem. Things went downhill from there. The movers damaged furniture, used my microwave as a stepping stool, smoked in the back of the truck while loading (we later found ashes in the new house brought in on the furniture), scratched the walls and ceiling at the new house, put a dent in the hardwood floors and 2 of the movers complained loudly the whole time about the number of stairs in our home. We also found out that it was the first day on the job for one of the movers. If I wanted an amateur, I would have done the move myself. It took several attempts to get hold of the owner, when I did she was not willing to hear my concerns. She hung up on me for getting upset. Of course I got upset, she didn't want to hear what went wrong. I was willing to let it all go and not even have the company fix anything, I just wanted the owner to hear from me all that went wrong and perhaps make sure that those things didn't happen to another customer. Someone from UCM will respond to this review by turning things around and some how making this my fault,just as they have with all the other negative reviews on this site, but customers need to know, things can go wrong and if they do, don't expect the owner to care.

Hi Becky: I am in receipt of your letter to homestars. You booked your move with our company to start between 9-10am. Like you said we did show up at 9:15am. As explained to your boyfriend that day, one of the movers got hurt the day before and all shifts had to be rotated around hence this was the reason for the delay. A discount was offered to you to compensate for this mishap and was gladly accepted by you. We have great reviews from our customers and unfortunately we were unable to make you happy. You see when you start to yell and scream at people, it doesn't help. I tried to speak to you in a very civil matter to no avail. I kindly asked you to please call back when you were willing to speak to me like a human being and not speak to me using such vulgar language and screaming. As for the damages, the scratches that you are claiming were already present upon my inspection of your items prior to moving you. As explained to you in detail, this was done by an amateur and flat paint was put on lacquer which cannot be done. The only problem was there were flakes of paint coming off due to the furniture not being done correctly. I also was at the back of the truck when your microwave was being packed and rest assure it was not used as a stepping stool. I watched it being wrapped and placed safely into the truck. Movers are not permitted to smoke on the truck; therefore, I am not sure of where the ashes you claimed are coming from. The crew that was sent to you was full time employees of our company and not amateurs as you claim. Not always the same crews work together, so sometimes they don't know one another. That is what John expressed to you. There was a small scratch on your wall that we offered to fix but you declined since the crew doing your renovations you said they could do that since they had the paint already. To finalize this whole ordeal, with all due respect Becky, no matter what we did or tried to do for you, we just could not please you. If I/We didn’t care, I would not have returned your call. The moral of the story is you were just not a workable person and only liked to be heard and did not want to hear what anyone else had to say. As expressed by you to us and the workers, you were flat broke and were seeking compensation for your move since you could not afford to pay for it. This is a terrible way for you to try and do that.

Moving

We did a lot of research on finding a mover. Thanks to homestars, it helped! We interviewed a number of movers and decided to choose Ultimate Movers. The arrangements were made and the movers showed up as scheduled. As soon as the movers arrived, the head of the crew covered all the floors with runners to protect our floors. The men wrapped all our furniture in blankets and covered our sofa's and mattresses with plastics. They even wrapped our daughters teddy bears in plastic....nice thought guys :-))

The crew worked very hard through out the day taking only expected breaks since they worked extremely hard. We showed our gratification at the end and extend that also in this reference letter.

We would recommend Ultimate Movers to anyone that we know is moving. They were great.

We are very happy with the service our family received from Ultimate Movers. Everything was professionally explained to us and went as planned. There were no surprises in the end and no hidden fees. As some people may have heard horror stories about movers, I can assure you that this company will not let you down. We have already recommended Ultimate Movers to 4 of our friends that are moving in the near future. Thanks to John and the gang for all their help and professionalism. Thanks to the office for all there patience with us in preparing for our move. Please feel free to use our name as a reference as you feel fit. Once again, thanks from the Bishop Family in Mississauga.

Moving

Movers came at 9.30am within time agreed, with three workers and 30ft truck as requested. The rate quoted and agreed with the office was $95 per hour, with one hour travel time and no hidden fees. Workers loaded the truck slowly and took regular breaks.When the truck was loaded the movers took half an hour to close the old door of the container. The movers finished offloading at 2.30PM. The movers invoice me for: (1) hour travel time as agreed, Time from 9.15am to 2.45pm and on top of that they charged 8% fuel charge. Way to go Ultimate ripoff movers............

With all due respect Mr. Ramlam, you were aware of the fuel surcharge. We have signed documentation from you accepting the same. We have a fax received from you from Tricon Films & Television on September 17, 2009 signed that you have accepted the contract and have full knowledge of the details of the contract. We do not hide any charges. I am not sure of how slowly you are talking about, your move took 4.5/hrs for a 4 bedroom home. I find your response is less than honest for misleading details.

Moving Service

Ultimate movers sent two very hard working, strong, and friendly movers to help my move this past October weekend. They were courteous, wrapped anything I hadn't wrapped well enough, and were extremely appreciative and sensitive with my property. I would highly...VERY highly recommend this company to others.

Move

We had a great experience with Ultimate Movers. Negotiations with Michelle and Phyllis were handled promptly and professionally. Any concerns we had were addressed and the price was vastly superior to other quotes we had received. The moving crew of Andy, Jon and Josh was fantastic. Each man provided excellent service, whether navigating the rather tight spaces behind our house, to moving some of our heavier stuff. Every task was completed with a cheery demeanor and an exemplary level of professionalism. We thank them for making what could have been a very stressful day fairly easy in the end.

We would have little trouble recommending them to any potential client and will be sure to call your company if we move again.

Thanks Jackie & Steve for a great review. I told the crew about your kind words and needless to say they too send a big thank you your way. We are glad that you liked our service. Hope you both enjoy your new home.
